Baseball Discussion | Qualification to Summer Olympic Games Los Angeles 2028 Road to LA 2028


Recommended Posts

:JPN hasn't been that impressive so I'm expecting 

 

:VEN and :DOM

 

If :JPN do up their game in QF, :PUR can make it instead of :VEN

 

All it takes one good innings with the bat and one bad innings with the ball to change the scenarios. 

Barcelona :ESP will host one of the WBSC Premier 12 qualifiers (9-11 October). This group will be formed by :COL:ITA:GER:ESP.

 

The other group in Zhongshan :CHN (26-28 November) will be formed by :CHN:CZE:NCA:GBR.

 

Top2 of each group will advance to WBSC Premier 12 2027 and Europeans will join :NED:AUS in the fight for one Olympic spot.

Canada is currently ranked something like 19th in the world in men’s baseball by the WBSC.

Should have participated in more U12, U15, U18, and U23 tournaments. Not sure why, but they all contribute points to the SENIOR World Ranking list

Help me understand the tie-breaker if all of Canada, PR, and Venezuela lose their playoff games. They'd all be 3-2, but would Canada be ranked higher for winning their group? If not, what is the next tie breaker since Canada/PR did not play Venezuela?

I believe it's that runs allowed over defensive outs calculation

 

So right now it's :PUR > :CAN > :VEN 

 

We'll have to hope Italy's high offense shows up again while being defensive against the United States

I saw that was the tie-breaker in group play, but it said only for games played against each other (Canada and PR didn't play Venezuela).

 

Looking at the 2023 WBC, they ranked "lost in quarterfinal" teams by record (but Australia and PR "tied" for 6th with the same record). Then it groups them by placings in their groups (all 3rd place teams together, ranked by final record, all 4th place teams together ranked by final record,etc.). That's what made me hopeful that Canada would place higher than the other two since they won their group. However, they have Venezuela in the same grouping as AUS, PR, and ITA (lost in quaterfinals) even though they won their division. 

 

Anyway, just have to hope for a Canada win or a close defensive loss, I guess. And some help elsewhere.

    • That's great, congratulations to both of you! I wish her a good recovery. 
    • This is not a full retirement, but kind of a break/sabbatical due to...reasons.    For those who have been following @brunamoura's journey towards and last February eventually, finally, at the Olympics, this might be an interesting update. The 2030 Olympics are still in her sight, but next year's world championships in February seem...unlikely.   She still needs to do at least two surgeries, one on her nasal cavities due to a chronic inflammation that has been bothering her for years, and one on her legs. In the Olympic season she struggled immensely with pain in her legs, which in the freestyle technique made her sometimes just not even able to move and therefore finish or even start the races. The Olympic 10k freestyle was hard and painful, but she managed to get through it. We knew she was dealing with compartment syndrome, which is quite serious and certainly needs to be dealt with surgically, but the recovery time for that meant that doing so during the season would likely jeopardize the Olympics - again.   The plan was to do the surgeries this year, but that's unlikely to happen now...    
    • My admittedly tiny sample at least made it feel like the safest and nicest place     Milan....I was very glad to be out of there, Bologna almost felt even worse, and I was also happy to leave Trento behind after barely a day there   Livigno didn't feel bad like that, the issue there is that Livigno people seem to believe the world outside of Livigno doesn't really exist.   Every time I have been in South Tyrol though, it always just felt...lovely, cozy, nice, friendly, and so on.   But obviously that is all a matter of opinion. Besides that I mostly went on statistics and Alto Adige generally scoring very high in things like quality of life and low crime rates  
    • Very interesting Article, not a lot of vast shocks in it, but great that she's found some happiness. She switched allegiance to Ireland from the US quietly a few years back, but I'd say the odds on her acting on it are pretty long - still, it maybe feels like a little statement of emancipation to herself, in which case, good on her.
    • That Kazda´s first goal was also something else     
    • if you can find one of them being able to receive the ball, it's definitely an option worth to be explored by the coaching staff

    • Article about one of the shadiest stories in athletics history, the story of teen phenomenon Mary Cain and her relationship with Albert Salazar and the whole Nike setup.  Happy ending - like several other athletes who never quite made the transition from teen success to adult, Mary is now on the way to being a medical Doctor.     ‘Like cutting the head off a hydra’: how Mary Cain exposed Nike’s disgraced coaching team | Athletics | The Guardian
    • Had a very strange career. Absolutely looked like the Crown Prince when Bolt was King, but after Bolt retired his only medals were in relays, nothing at all solo.  Drug rumours did not help.
